This 1916 sealing stamp, issued by the Jewish National Fund (JNF), features a portrait of Leon Pinsker, a key figure in early Zionism. These non-postal stamps were used for fundraising and promotion of Zionist activities related to land acquisition in Palestine.

Leon Pinsker, a physician and early Zionist activist, advocated for Jewish self-emancipation. The Jewish National Fund, established in 1901, was instrumental in acquiring and developing land in Palestine for Jewish settlement, making this stamp a significant artifact of the pre-state Zionist movement.
